Arrived with me nursing something of a glass head after yesterday's pain and 'pain management'. It's a sad thing that the Hunter S approach seems the most effective, but the accelerated leap into oblivion is all that I need when things get that bad. Maybe I need to work on the hypnosis angle...
I had a thought the other day that maybe in the club of the future, punters will come through the door and pay one of a team of hypnotists who will offer the requested dose of... "Look into my eyes...*snap* You will feel a euphoric sense of well being and hug anyone who comes within ten feet of you... Then after a few hours of dancing like a loon, you will start to feel normal again, retrieve your coat from the cloakroom and go home quietly."
Still, it's a good edit over all.
All in all, it's been a good meeja day.
Hi Tim .. great article in Daily Mail. I have put in a seperate request through Virgin Books but how can I contact you regarding a possible media interview? Our email is ninetonoon at radionz dot co dot nz Many thanks radio
Hey Tim -
I was always creeped out by the strangers on my blog offering me unsolicited advice when I had my pain problem, but looky here, I'm doing it to you.
I'm a T8 incomplete, and I've been through just about every and any pain therapy you could imagine. I have had tethered cord five times (from what you describe in your post, sounds like what I've had - cord gets pinched down by scar tissue, etc, stretches nerve roots and causes pain during movement or growth) and oodles of surgeries. And... finally I'm a functioning human being again. So - from one functioning human being to another - it will get better. I promise.
